Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 2 April , 2020 Share Posted 2 April , 2020 (edited) Here is a postcard that I have. It only shows the 'MT' title. I don't know if this was always the case. Someone else can perhaps show if it was sometimes different? Edited 2 April , 2020 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few that show the two tier title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardenerbill Posted 2 April , 2020 Share Posted 2 April , 2020 Is the variance due to soldiers having to buy there own badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially these were, I believe, provided, but I read a gripe from an ASC man that he had to buy his own shoulder titles. Perhaps he dressed up his ASC titles by adding the MT’s. I have two or three photos showing the chap in #3; only one picture shows the two tier titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
